⪼⪼⪼⪼⪼⪼⪼⪼⪼⪼⪼⪼⪼⪼⪼ ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ 🐾 ▼•ᴥ•▼ • Bookings currently being accepted from July 2026 -> November 2026. The December 2026 calendar will open on Aug 1. • We will be closed from September 11-16, 2026 • Please book early since our spots are filling up quickly. You can always adjust dates (and receive a refund from Rover, or make additional payment on the platform) as needed. • Three-story house (not shown in profile pictures for safety reasons) where dogs will sleep, play, & rest is fully air conditioned. I'm very mindful of the extremes of winter cold and summer heat and the risks of heat exposure to dogs. Extra care is made to ensure that no dog(s) gets hypo- or hyper-thermia and your dog is returned to you happy & healthy (Note: read carefully the reviews of some other local Rover sitters, where incidents of over-heating have been reported) • As of January 2026, I have been re-certified by an accredited institution for pet first aid (including CPR and general emergency preparedness) ⪻⪻⪻⪻⪻⪻⪻⪻⪻⪻⪻⪻⪻⪻⪻ 📍Located in LaGrange, NY 🏡 6 acre property (1.5 acres fenced yard) I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all sizes. Large 6 acre oasis / 1.5 acres of the backyard is fully fenced and offers amazing space for your dog to run & play away from any dangers (no roads, no cars). Someone is home at ALL TIMES with your pet seven days per week, with the exception of an odd 30 minute errand (i.e., a grocery store or pharmacy visit). Your loved one(s) will have plenty of play time and social time with my dog, as well as any other visitors we have at that time. I have a three level / four bedroom house where pets can be separated if needed. I will go above and beyond to make your pet feel LOVED, SAFE & COMFORTABLE and most importantly ensure they have FUN!

Ratings and reviews
We are so glad to have found Jeff! He was immediately responsive to our request and able to get Walt in even though we were planning to leave in just a few days. Due to a family emergency, he was very flexible with us and offered to help in any way he could. Jeff has a great yard for the dogs to play in and sent us daily updates. Any time we messaged while we were away Jeff responded right away. Walt seems to have had a great time, and we will absolutely reach out to Jeff again when we need a sitter in the future. Thank you so much!! :)
We couldn’t be happier with our experience! We have two dogs, a French Bulldog and a puppy who’s still a bit shy and nervous around new people and dogs. Jeff was so patient and understanding with both of their personalities. They took the time to build trust with our pup rather than pushing him past his comfort zone, which meant everything to us. We also got wonderful updates throughout each visit, with photos that showed how relaxed and happy the dogs were. During a pretty intense storm, they kept both dogs calm and safe, which really put our minds at ease since we know thunderstorms can be stressful for pets. It’s clear they genuinely care about the animals they look after. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your dogs like their own!
My family & I went camping in Gardiner, NY. We took our 2 dogs with us. Astro is a 2.5 year old, 50 pound black lab mix & Darla is a 5-month old, 10 pound mini dachshund. Our dogs are like children to us. I found Jeff on Rover and was accommodated kindly and quickly. As soon as we met Jeff in person, I felt comfortable and an inner knowing that my precious pups are safe with him and would be happier there than our campground (they hated the campground lol). Jeff sent pictures (better pics than I’ve ever been able to capture!) and updates consistently and spaced out from each other perfectly. My dogs look SO happy in all the pictures which tells it all. We camp upstate often and will absolutely be returning for a pup vacation with Jeff. Wish I could give more than 5 stars. Peace of mind, is priceless and we’re so thankful Jeff provided that for our family.
Jeff's always a pleasure to work with. Well organized, plenty of communication and I feel at ease when Volley is staying with him because I know she's well taken care of. He understands the dog's needs, adjusts for situations as needed(like the recent heat wave!) and sends pictures along with the updates. Thank you!
We had a last-minute need for boarding, and Jeff kindly made room for our Josie. Communication was great (pictures of a happy dog are so appreciated when we are away!) and Jeff handled all of her special needs so well. Josie came home happy and tired from her play date with other dogs, and we can definitely recommend Jeff!
Jeff was terrific. We contacted him at the last minute and he welcomed Melo with open arms. Melo was so relaxed when we arrived, it was obvious that he enjoyed his time with Jeff.

Schedule
I can watch your pet(s) on weekdays, weekends, evenings, and holidays. Someone is HOME 23.5 to 24 hours of the day - all dogs are under constant supervision while home. The hour I may not be there, could involve a quick trip to pharmacy or the grocery store. I have the space to separate dogs during the quick trips I make out, or during bedtime, to ensure SAFETY (always the #1 priority)! All pets will be: • Exercised in a stimulating environment. • Closely supervised when interacting with with other pets until I am 100% sure they get along (this is to ensure both the SAFETY & WELL BEING of all animals (which is always my number one priority))
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Multi-level house; two-story barn (connected to an outdoor kennel in the spring/summer/fall). Housing overnight is INSIDE of the house (not the barn). All walks occur on the property ONLY, and pets will not be taken near roads or near cars, which can give you added peace of mind for their safety. When outside in the fenced yard, dogs are 100% supervised at all times. I have a long track record of experience in animal behavior and can adjust my care to meet the specific needs of your dog. I also have 20+ years of experience with medication administration to animals (including injections, oral drug administration, etc). Please reach out if your animal has special requirements.

A typical day
I have a huge yard that has lots of area to walk, run, and play. There's many areas to sniff and explore, including a babbling brook in the backyard, some forested areas where we can explore, or just do our walks on the large lawn. The house/barn are on a secluded, 6 acre property that is surrounded by many trees. I'm happy to walk dogs on-leash, or have them run off-leash in the fenced backyard (whatever the owner and client prefer).
